We went with Blockbuster online because at the time it was less expensive than Netflix at the time. Now that they've raised their rates to the same as Netflix I don't mind since I can return movies to the store on the way to work and they get counted as checked in a day or two faster. Also, I get coupons for a couple of "free" store rentals each month. Still, being summer I'm not renting as many. Mostly I'm getting old comedy series, e.g. Kids in the Hall and Strangers With Candy and special interest documentaries like The God Who Wasn't There and Walking with Prehistoric Beasts, cable stuff I don't get like Penn & Teller's BS and of course a lot of mainstream movies. I agree about Walk the Line. Quite good but seemed much like Ray. (We tend to get Academy Award nominees/winners for the few months after the ceremonies) And as for 28 Days Later, that was fun to watch with my epidemiologist. We laughed our butts off. Atrophying biddies. That's funny! What is it about fussy, ugly flowers that draws that crowd?

I emailed GW yesterday and have had two responses already today. I am impressed! Kim PLEASE INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING LINE IN ANY RESPONSE: GardenWeb mail response mc1713221917072ec rosa Hi Kim, If you place your mouse on the link you want to view and right click on it, a small menu will pop up and you can choose 'open in a new tab'. The page should open in the new tab without encountering the script error. Not an optimum fix, but it works!

iVillage is switching over to a new server and database system, which in turn has caused some unpleasant side effects. iVillage is still working to correct those. Many people could not log in at all for a couple of days, some could log in if they used lower caps, some people's very old usernames would come up when they logged in -- very confusing! Trade lists disappeared and then came back, e-mail links were put in the journal link but will restored to member pages if they haven't already, e-mails were public for a couple of days and then restored to preferred settings... I imagine the login problem will be corrected shortly and people then won't have to log in every time they come to GardenWeb -- it will be like it was before. Almost as bad as not being able to log in was the barrage of ads, which I'm not used to seeing since I'm a contributing member. iVillage has eliminated new contributing memberships but members are still supposed to be ad-free for a year after joining. Now I've got the Mozilla browser and AdBlock and that took care of the ads. I downloaded Microsoft Anti-Spyware Beta too. All of that is free, including the Microsoft spyware if you're already a Microsoft user.

Sue, I am so glad you are OK! I was at the doc yesterday and happened to be reading about signs of a heart attack. I never knew until yesterday that a jaw tightening up was a sign. So glad you went to the ER, too. Don't be afraid of 911! My dad died when I was 13 due to heart problems. In retrospect, I CANNOT believe nothing was really done for him. I remember walking home from the train w/him, and he would have to stop because of the pain in his chest. He was thin and had textbook perfect blood pressure. I remember him having some medicine (patches?) for angina, but that is about it. My dad may have survived IF someone would have called 911. He thought he had indigestion, and his co-workers called my house. My sis (15 then) answered and told them they should call 911. They drove him to the ER instead, and he died at the hospital. We never got to see him again. They apologized at the wake. Too little, too late. So relieved everyone else who has posted is OK, too. No one really talks about heart disease for women, and isn't it the most common cause of death among women? Trail, I had no idea you were a cardio RN. I will remember you rules!
